Now wether he drinks or not I do not know but not everybody living in West drinks and for that purpose a lot of Pakistani drink in Pakistan.
Let Allah be judge of that as I do not know.
well Liaqat Ali Khan made his choice even what Qaed E Azam was thinking or not, Ayub got aid and signed the defence equipment is against Communism, PAF developed a comfort zone and some reasons were good some not so good. Question is were these mistake lack of vision or for personal reasons? It will be hard to prove anything but if one may look back somethings are evident and all that is evident is PAF should have four more squadrons of multirole planes or two air superiority, one deep strike and one maritime strike squadron in addition to what we have. Corruption and mismanagement did not help.
There have been definitely mistakes and it can be debated how grave they were.
All said and done PAF didn’t do too bad, could it have done better yes.
Were there some bad leaders in PAF yes were there some top class people at helm? yes. I do not intend to name anyone but the idea is to improve i the future.
Hi,
I don't drink liquor or smoke---my physical fitness routine did not have time for that---.
We need to analyze what is at hand and how often the same mistake has been made in the process of procuring the primary major weapons system---.
To generalize it into everything else is to get into a sinkhole---.
It is very easy to assess---it was due to lack of vision and total incompetence---a lack of understanding the urgency and a total disregard of enemy power---.
Right type of aircraft were available throughout the last 35 years and cash was not the problem always---timing and understanding was---.
Major weapons purchase and honesty are two things that should never be mixed together---. This is a business of death and destruction where time is of extreme essence & honetsy has no or little place---.
The only thing that you need to do---if you are really honest then get the best available equipment for the money---then you have done the nation a great favor---.
You know it---I know it---guy on the street corner knows it---our enemy has great influence and it will do everything possible to sabotage our purchase---and the only person who does not know that is the Paf purchaser---.
When we were shopping for the Agosta 90B we were also looking at the british subs as well---. The deal fell thru possibly for kick backs---Benazir I believe handled the deal on the Agosta 90's---.
Guess what---those british subs are sitting at docks worthless and the agosta 90 B still putting fear of god in the enemy---. So---in the end---it was money well spent on the Agostas---.
Look at what we are doing now---buying all the Mirage 3 / 5's from all over the world and upgrading them---. My question would be then what stopped us from doing that in the 90's---or why didn't go for the mirage F1's---why did we not go for the Cheetah upgrade---.
I mean to say---with so many failures to buy---there comes a time to cut the losses and change direction and search other venues---.
That is why---military projects need to have a very capable civilian oversight as well.
